The Smart Tweezers (ST) are indeed smart. The automatic mode correctly identifies resistors, capacitors and inductors and displays their values. STs can measure leaded components and surface mounted components and also work well with in-circuit measurements. Traditionally, in-circuit measurements are "iffy" but STs offer manual modes and control of the test frequency, the test voltage, and the resistance of the internal signal generator. For example, the user can reduce the amplitude of the test frequency which can improve in-circuit measurement accuracy (the amplitude can be reduced to as low as 250 mV to avoid turning on solid-state junctions). Of course, in-circuit measurements can still be tricky due to parallel components.
ESR is an issue with electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. STs perform wonderfully for ESR measurements.
The diode mode is way cool as the schematic symbol for a diode is shown on the LCD display and lo and behold the symbol changes to correctly identify the cathode and anode leads. Using this mode usually works well to verify both in-circuit diodes and out-of-circuit diodes.
